EPL-1 Focusing Tip/Trick: MF Assist Related

Ok, a new(?) tip for my much loved E-PL1. Sometimes it's useful to use MF-Assist, and sometimes it's not. With this tip you can choose whether to use MF-Assist on the fly.

1. Set the function button to DoF preview

2. If you use the MF ring as normal, you will automatically enter MF assist mode.

3. If you hold down the function button/DoF preview, and us the MF ring you will NOT enter MF assist mode, and can instead focus the whole frame.

The choice is up to you. It is useful for focusing the whole frame quickly, and then fine tuning with MF assist afterwards, especially in conjunction with the viewfinder.

Hope it's of some use to somebody somewhere!
